Claire Danes Quotes

I think I would make a lousy stay-at-home mom. It just wouldn’t suit me Picture Quote #1

If you do something that you’re not genuinely passionate about, it is a little soul-crushing. Just not worth it Picture Quote #1

Voice over can be tricky. It can be dangerous because it’s over-used or inappropriately used Picture Quote #1

By the time I went to Yale, I’d been acting for a long time and I was really tired of it. I was restless - and a little bored - and I was really eager to investigate different parts of myself Picture Quote #1

Growing up in New York with artist parents - a very liberal environment, where we were always encouraged to challenge the status quo - I think for a long time I confused jingoism with patriotism. And that is a mistake Picture Quote #1

I guess I stopped acting when I was 18 and didn’t pick it up again until I was 21. That wasn’t the plan, though. When I first started at Yale, the plan was to do a movie each summer Picture Quote #1

I was a pretty nerdy kid. I was pretty nerdy. I’m still kind of nerdy. I have all of the worst qualities of being a nerd - all of the affect and none of the smarts. I’m a useless nerd! That’s pretty bad Picture Quote #1

I’m so impressed by Jennifer Lawrence and Carey Mulligan. They have this exquisite taste. They are very gifted in their ability to make great choices Picture Quote #1

It just seems like the most successful, iconic love stories are not so easy or escapist. I think the ones that stay with us and resonate are full of conflict, discord and misunderstandings ‘cause that’s what makes drama happen or tension even if it’s a comedy Picture Quote #1

My go-to gifts are scarves from my friend Matin Maulawizada’s nonprofit organization, Afghan Hands, which supports disenfranchised women in Afghanistan. In exchange for their beautiful embroidery, the women are given financial aid and classes in math and literacy. The scarves are all stunning and one of a kind Picture Quote #1

People in the CIA, they marry each other. They’re like actors! We have to travel without much warning to far-flung places, and it’s very hard to communicate what our experiences are like to those in the outside world Picture Quote #1

The big question is always, ‘Eyes or lips?’ I tend to go with the eyes because I’ve got a lot more material to work with now - and it saves me from reapplying lipstick! I’m a pretty low-maintenance person and it’s too excessive to exaggerate both the eyes and lips Picture Quote #1

I played a girl. There’s really nothing controversial about her. She’s just fine. She has to be fine in order to make Sarah Jessica’s character pop, I say I just play a white girl in that movie Picture Quote #1

I think the voice over actually enhances the various moments instead of compensating for something that’s lacking. Voice over can be tricky. It can be dangerous because its over used or inappropriately used. I think in this case it informs the story Picture Quote #1

I think people who make movies and have invested a lot of money in them, get frightened that if they challenge an audience they are going to repel them. And I think the opposite it’s really true. It takes confidence and courage to know that and then commit to it Picture Quote #1

It’s very difficult to judge yourself. Extreme self-doubt is only attractive when it’s fictionalized. Which is why people love the movies. They are so reassuring Picture Quote #1

I’ve always had a really active imagination. Lots of kids have imaginary friends. Mine just took on a rather demonic form Picture Quote #1

Actors want to surprise themselves. When it’s really good, you kind of transcend yourself, and that happens infrequently. Very, very rarely Picture Quote #1

It’s been a huge joy, this experience of being a mom ... I don’t know how to articulate it yet, because it is so fresh Picture Quote #1

I have a huge, active imagination, and I think I’m really scared of being alone; because if I’m left to my own devices, I’ll just turn into a madwoman Picture Quote #1

There’s certainly something very uncomfortable about the voyeurism involved in being in the press, being an actor, where people have a seemingly insatiable curiosity about, you Picture Quote #1

Narciso Rodriguez was my first fashion big brother. He made my wedding dress, which was wonderful Picture Quote #1

I have this book club, and we don’t read one book; we offer up a few suggestions and create a library over time Picture Quote #1

However, I’m at a very comfortable place in my career and celebrity, in that I don’t have to audition as extensively as I used to for roles but yet I’m not immediately recognizable Picture Quote #1

I was told that my going to college wouldn’t be good for my career. I think that’s nonsense. It’s good to empower yourself by cutting yourself off from this business every once in a while Picture Quote #1

You don’t realize how useful a therapist is until you see yourself on e and discover you have more problems than you ever dreamed of Picture Quote #1

Psychology and acting are very closely linked. It’s just about studying people and how they work. It can be an incredible discipline and exercise Picture Quote #1

People confuse fame with validation or love. But fame is not the reward. The reward is getting fulfillment out of doing the thing you love Picture Quote #1

So much of my job is about finding another job, and that’s really boring Picture Quote #1

When I was a kid, I was one of those really obnoxious ‘oooh oooh’ girls, with my hand up in the air constantly. I’ve learned over the years that that’s not so attractive, so I’ve censored that Picture Quote #1
